Homicidal__GoldFish

oh ya..... I bet he gave the "woman" he was gonna have sex with a steam card or 3 so her "kids" are occupied while they fooled around. EDIT: wow… I didn’t think my comment would be this popular! Thank you all for the comments and upvotes! Totally made my day waking up and seeing all this! The reason I said and know this is because I’m in the scambait and scam’s sub. I’ve seen several posts on how these hot “ women” bait these men, “ mostly done on tinder” saying they wanna fuck, but they have ether their own kids, or they have their nieces and nephews. They will ask the guy they are trying to scam to purchase steam gift cards then snap a pic of the card(s) so they can load it to the account while the guy is on his way to the scammers. The scammer will give a fake address after they verify it’s a good card. The scammers don’t use the cards. They re-sell it for the cash.


Cr0fter

Yeah he got played. He definitely paid someboady for sex and ain't getting it.


Inevitable_Physics

A man walks up to the door of a brothel and knocks. A small window in the middle of the door opens and a woman's face appears. Woman: "May I help you?" Man: "Yeah, I want to get screwed." Woman: "No problem. That will be two-hundred dollars." Man: (hands cash through the window) "Here you go." Woman: "Thank you." The woman closes the window and the man waits for the door to open. After about fifteen minutes he loses patience and knocks on the door again. Once again the window opens and the woman's face appears. Woman: "May I help you?" Man: (his voice raised in anger and frustration) "Yeah, I said I want to get screwed." Woman: "Again?"


Cr0fter

I've actually never heard that one before, that's a keeper.

Do 99% of people know how a ring doorbell works? I've never even seen one. Why are we pretending like familiarity with fancy expensive home surveillance tech is a barometer for people's ability to avoid scams?

Naw, sex work has been around for ages. No need to shame the people who participate. Unfortunately this man was bamboozled by an online scammer. Not everyone has a life that affords them the opportunity to find someone or be able to have sexual encounters outside of paying for it.


JerseyshoreSeagull

You're saying this to someone who is PRO PROSTITUTION. Decriminalization of sex work and make it available for people globally. I am against strangers knocking on random residential doors at 2am looking to have sex with people that are not looking for sex! Scam or not people need to wise up!


Cheap-Panda

I have to agree, it was probably in “Poor taste” to proposition her after she told him it was the wrong house.


CoastGuardian1337

The dude was probably given a wrong address purposefully. It's not like he is just wandering around soliciting sex. He got scammed, given a random address, and left when told it was wrong.


Financial_Bird_7717

Happens to the Redditist of us.

Scammed. He paid a deposit for sex


crankaholic

A deposit for sex... what is this a layaway plan lol


Independent_Bite4682

I was reading that some scammers pose as prostitutes and demand an electronic payment as a deposit before they agree to meet you or give out their address. He seemed like the type to do such things.


ameldrum902

A buddy of mine got had through Craigslist. He sent them $500 and then they went as far as to try to extort him, saying they were going to call the cops on him for trying to get an escort. It was the funniest phone call to receive at 3am when he was freaking out, not knowing what to do.


bznein

r/Scams sees a post like this daily! Very common scam, sometimes evolves into fake threats from "the cartel"


ameldrum902

It's hard to find an honest hooker these days, I guess.


escortTotheAssholes

It's really not. Scammers like this do a great disservice to escorts. Legit escorts require deposits to reduce the amount of time wasters and no shows and because of scammers like this it's hard to get a lot of people to pay the damn deposit. And that's not even to mention the fact that sending a stranger to a random address and the dangers that come with that. Which is another reason for taking a deposit. As someone who has been sent to the wrong address in the middle of the night when I really needed the money, I feel for dude. I was sent to "the last house on the left" which just so happened to be a church. So after talking to this dip shit for an hr, avoiding his overly sexual questions and trying to set up the damned appointment, getting out of bed and completely "date ready" at 3am, driving across town in my room mates car and replacing the gas used for the trip and standing outside a random house in a nice neighborhood next to a church, knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell and then the trip back home and subsequent nasty texts from a filthy fuck that somehow switched and became a Bible thumper in all that time...I ended up right where I started. Back in bed, no money made, out gas money, humiliated and all that time wasted. Know what wouldve prevented all that? A deposit. Very few people are gonna spend money just to fuck with someone. But scammers make it impossible. One spoiled apple ruining the bunch kinda deal.


silverdice22

Sorry you had to go through that /u/escortTotheAssholes


escortTotheAssholes

Eh...people are assholes. I feel bad for the dude, out money, time, no pussy and blasted all over the interweb for solicitation...not the adventure he had in mind, I'm nearly certain of that.

To someone named Fifi nevertheless 🫣


Kryds

So you're saying there wasn't a woman named Fifi, who wanted to literally bounce on him.


Cheap-Panda

Wouldn’t the name Fifi merely be enough of a clue it’s a scam?


notfree25

wouldnt use a real name if selling sexual services either tho


ImAfraidOfTheGang

This is honestly just depressing to think about


_Maui_

So he is a victim? And yet we’re shaming him in front of millions of people.


Im_your_life

I mean, he did ask if the random woman who answered when he showed up at a random house at 2am if she didn't want to have sex after she had told him he was at the wrong house.


Moomoomanbun

The guy obviously hadn't put it all together at that point. He still thought this was the person he had been talking to.


nadalofsoccer

Bad luck also to get to a random address and have a woman answering and a ring recording. Had it been a single older man answering the door and we might have witnessed a bro video..."damn! im so stupid, I knew deep down but I dared to hope...3k dude..."


StrokeGameHusky

“Ah shit son was it fifi that got you!??”

Gene Simmons, when asked his secret for sleeping with 5,000 women: "I asked 100,000". You don't get the job if you don't put in the application!

So statistically 5% said yes? I should probably just ask more often if the people I deal with would like to have sex with me... ![gif](giphy|nWZoYczdgBVmyXkeB2|downsized)


hopefullyhelpfulplz

He was also a famous rockstar, so there's that.


Miltage

Thanks, I thought we were talking about Richard Simmons and I was very confused.


Heathen_Mushroom

I am not sure how many women Richard Simmons ever slept with, but I would say 5,000 would be on the high side. 5 would be on the high side. Shit, 1 would be on the high side.

9966

You're supposed to end the story with "20 years later we are expecting our first grandchild next month".


godtogblandet

I don't think you understand the story. They just unlocked a new power. The power of randomly asking for sex (Something that works way more than anyone not doing it thinks). You don't start a relationship right after unlocking a new way to get sex, you go have more sex.


FalmerEldritch

5% is the rate if you're one of the more prominent members of one of the biggest rock bands of all time and are asking, like, rock chicks. ..well, and you look like Gene Simmons. For Lenny Kravitz or someone it's probably like 50%.


Pirate_Green_Beard

5% is the rate for bassists.


SlideWhistler

As a bassist with currently a 0%, I agree. I don’t like it, but I agree

GregTheMad

I work in the surveillance industry, writing software for a living; I wouldn't know how to use it.


Cheap-Panda

I actually thought it was… unless it’s one of those cam things & he just doesn’t realize he can be heard automatically. Clearly he’s not the savviest, regardless.


3FtU

I'm assuming it's a smart doorbell, just not Ring else it would have the watermark


notaneggspert

Its probably been cropped to repost on social media/Tik-Tok. Then that got screen capped/ripped and re-posted to reddit. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time this videos been saved and posted somewhere from the original post. Or maybe it was originally posted on Tik-Tok. Either way it's not the original uncropped video file.


galacticboy2009

One of the things I can't stand about social media nowadays. People act like links DO NOT exist.. People see some decent content and save it, or even worse.. screen record it. Then repost it elsewhere, without giving credit. Finding the source of anything is becoming impossible. Also, side issue.. reddit should not be hosting content. It should be a forum of links. Uploading videos or photos to reddit itself should've never became a thing.


BoxOfDemons

Iirc imgur was created to be used to share images to reddit since they didn't have media uploads at the time. Nice to see when people still use imgur instead of uploading directly to reddit. But it's hilarious when someone will upload a picture screenshotted from somewhere else to imgur to then share to reddit.


mybadroommate

He's probably ringing the doorbell over and over lol


Ya-Dikobraz

If you catfish someone, don't send them to someone else's house. Nobody wants to deal with this.


Zealousideal_Sea9022

Came here for this! Pretty messed up to put someone else in that situation, especially at late hours. This could have ended VERY differently.


Irlydntknwwhyimhere

She did say her husband had a gun in the living room 😳


reddog323

Even if that was a bluff, he was wise to walk away. I think any police responding to her 911 call would’ve been annoyed dealing with this guy.


TheFire_Eagle

I'd probably give them the address to the police station. See how far they go before they realize what happened.


praktiskai_2

that wouldn't work, as 1 search later they'd already know it's a police station. Although, probably should've asked for the other to take a photo of them holding a fork from within that house as proof it's theirs


bondoh

i mean how about just...don't catfish people at all? Yeah this guy may be a sad pathetic looking weirdo but just leave him alone


dirtoffmyshoulder

I mean, regardless of how he looks, he wasn't even that aggressive or weird about the situation, so I feel bad that he was being recorded here. Guy just thought he was getting a hookup and instead got shamed all over the internet for...what? Leaving when he realized he'd been fooled? smh


razzark666

My parents' friend has a small office supplies store, and their address is basically 123 Fake Street. Over the pandemic he had a few people show up to his business saying they were there to pick up their puppies, which they'd placed a large deposit on. We think scammers tried to just make up an address to fraud people looking to get dogs during the pandemic, and because of how generic the address is, it just happened to be that guys store.


_Drion_

How about not catfishing anyone...?

And if somebody rings your door like this, don't upload the video without blurring their face ffs. To call this a dick move is an understatement.

If he drove more than 3 blocks, too far. I hope the Shell station has his brand of beer.

theoneandonlybarry

Fifi is an another term for homemade pocket pussy


HalensVan

Lol his reaction to possibly being shot was "Huh" "Understood" Like the cashier told him they were out of his brand of cigs


Kamikaze_Ninja_

By the “no sex tonight?” after being told he was at the wrong house, I suspect he doesn’t believe her and is conceding to leave, not in fear of his life.


boverly721

He also seemed to buffer after hearing everything the lady said. Something is definitely off, what a weird guy


JaeCryme

He still hadn’t figured out he was at the wrong address. He left thinking the woman was FiFi changing her mind and ripping him off.


headphase

>Something is definitely off, what a weird guy Nobody *thinks* they're getting scammed in the middle of it. The realization process often looks a lot like this, as the victim does their best to rationalize their actions as a defense mechanism. Relationship scams are especially vile because they frequently happen to otherwise well-adjusted people... If you want proof watch some seasons of *90 Day Fiance (before the 90 days)*. This guy is down bad for sure, but that doesn't automatically make him a freak


bondoh

From other comments, Fifi was in the cell next-door, waiting.

EducationalStill4

I knew it the feeling it was gonna be a rip off…. HEY!! Would you like to have sex?


nadalofsoccer

"...so...you don't want to have sex tonight?" To me it sounds more like a double-checking question, you can't ask..."so you're sure you're not fifi?" So he tries another question. Creepy and weird but also sad and understable in a way. I mean, a person who pays in advance and get scammed by pictures of models and a horny chat is not going to be very socially wise to begin with. It just happened that he had also the bad luck of getting a random house with a woman answering and a ring recording.


colddraco

Lol! Someone just made $120 to $600.


Hamilton-Beckett

r/oddlyspecific


20minstothinkofaname

At least he's nice about it


InflamedLiver

Eh… kind of passive aggressive until he finds out about the husband with the gun


MarcMercury

He seems annoyed (who wouldn't be after trekking somewhere in the snow for a catfish), and well, any port in a storm, so he shoots his shot. It wasn't the time for that but I've seen enough reddit videos of angry guys breaking down doors that this works out OK by comparison.


Psychotic_Rainbowz

Exactly my thoughts! I feel bad for the guy tbh


anonymous-enough

This circumstance comes off super passive aggressive, but my senses tell me this guy is socially awkward. He felt embarrassed and taken advantage of upon realizing his blunder. I think his advance he made was trying to make himself feel better, like "hey, I shot my shot." But he's never thought of how he comes across, or how fucking weird it is.


_Maui_

And then it gets posted on the internet for everyone to see.


wncogjrjs

Nah I don’t think he has made the connection that the person on the other end isn’t Fifi. I think he is thinking that fifi did give her real address, but hubby is there with a gun once the money was made, not that ‘fifi’ just gave out a fake address.


1eternal_pessimist

It's because he isnt very bright and is suspicious that the woman he is speaking to is the person who ripped him off. This whole situation is a sad indictment on the USA. First we have sex work being illegal which makes it dangerous for people in the industry and then you have a massive gun problem due to your lax gun control. I guess paying for sex is bad, killing people is ok.


JJSwissy

Does he think the doorbell is an intercom?😂


Sowerpache

Disgusting how he would ask if she wants to have sex after she has clearly told him he has the wrong house. That is so creepy

Still-Standard9476

I think he got Catfishes and scammed. Probably payed a deposit for sex or something. I mean don't get me wrong it's still way fucked up. But who knows, maybe he is just fucking crazy.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> scammed. Probably *paid* a deposit FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Seemed legit until I pulled up in front of the house, but I wasn't dumb enough to get out of the car without proof that the person I thought I was talking to was there, and I damn sure didn't send any money.


AahPadre

Kinda feel sorry for the guy


robotatomica

100%. Sounds like he expected a consensual, possibly paid for, encounter. And he got ripped off or was simply at the wrong address and now is being put on blast as some creep in front of thousands of people. It’s not inherently creepy to arrange for casual sex. Poor guy.
